The Matrix line of pads are part of a T3 system: an innovative approach to equipment manufacturing that integrates the latest ergonomic research with the most popular time-tested features, and marks a transformation in the design of products for the art, sport and science of riding. A process, in which comfort, style and performance are systematically engineered into the product from the inside out, based on new insights into the interactive dynamics of equine physiology.

**What is ETC? An innovative fabric that provides a non-slip, anti-friction surface for a secure and stable saddle position. Offers high wicking and breathability for maximum moisture and heat removal. Stain-resistant and easy to clean.

***What is Poron XRD? A high performance open-cell foam that absorbs most of the energy, not only from the impact of saddle on the horse’s back, but also from the rider on the saddle. Poron XRD protects the horse from impact, and it minimizes the energy bounce back that a rider experiences when landing in the saddle, allowing for a more secure seat.
